Chapter 1,206: Scaring off Xiaochuan, Lu Gong marries his daughter
The Double Ninth Festival has just passed.
The sun is shining brightly and the autumn air is crisp!
In order to go home, Yi Xiaochuan said goodbye to his sworn brother Xiang Yu and prepared to go to Yandi Tang Wushan to find a way to return to modern times.
Starting from Juhuan County, we stopped and walked and entered Sichuan County.
It was also because of his playfulness along the way that he deviated from the official path and actually ran into the Lu family members who were hiding from the enemy.
"Spare your life...spare your life...ah——"
"What sound?"
Yi Xiaochuan, who always liked to join in the fun, heard someone screaming and rushed over immediately.
When he arrived at the place, he saw a dozen big men escorting a dozen prisoners and preparing to behead them.
"Save someone under the knife!"
Although Yi Xiaochuan didn't want to meddle in other people's business, he couldn't bear it when he saw more than a dozen lives being killed in front of him, and he quickly shouted to stop.
"Keep killing!"
Su Mingzhe waved his hand to signal Lu Gong's followers to continue, then he walked towards Yi Xiaochuan with a knife in hand and a murderous look on his face:
"Boy, these people are bandits and robbers. According to Qin law, it is not illegal to kill robbers. Don't meddle in other people's business!"
"Hey, don't come over here!"
For some reason, Yi Xiaochuan felt a chill in his heart when he was stared at by Su Mingzhe. He was so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back before shouting:
"Even if they are robbers, you have already caught them and sent them to the government. Why bother to execute them privately?"
"Private execution?"
Su Mingzhe did not expect that Yi Xiaochuan was so courageous that he was not intimidated by his momentum. He sneered, took out his identity card from his pocket, and waved it in front of him:
"Nai Gong is an 'arrest officer' in Peixian County, Sichuan County. If he encounters a robber, he will kill him. Who dares to say that I 'executed myself privately'?"
"It turns out to be Mr. Headcatcher. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Yi Xiaochuan had good eyesight. He could clearly read the small characters on the ID card from a distance of three feet. It didn't feel like it was fake. He immediately let out a haha and turned around to leave.
You know, his current official status is still a fugitive from justice.
When he met someone from the government, Yi Xiaochuan subconsciously wanted to run away.
Su Mingzhe also saw that Yi Xiaochuan's courage suddenly became weak, and he suddenly realized that when Yi Xiaochuan had just traveled through time, he saved Xiang Yu who was about to be beheaded in the execution ground, and now he was also a wanted criminal in the court.
Thinking of this, Su Mingzhe's eyes began to shine:
"Kid, don't leave. Who are you? Take out your ID card and let Nai Gong check it!"
"Nai Gong, your grandma has legs, I am your Nai Gong!"
Yi Xiaochuan had a completely guilty conscience. When he saw Su Mingzhe reaching out to him, he was so frightened that he quickly got on his horse, turned around and ran away. When he was far away, he secretly spat and found another way to go north.
Seeing that Yi Xiaochuan had been scared away, Su Mingzhe couldn't help laughing and returned to the team.
At this time, Lu Gong once again took his family to thank Su Mingzhe.
"Don't be polite, Mr. Lu. It's a matter of loyalty to others! Su must protect Mr. Lu's family and reach Pei County safely!"
So, Su Mingzhe asked everyone to dig a hole and bury the body.
Anyone who kills or buries them is a bandit.
Burying someone after killing someone is to destroy the evidence, and to prevent the body from rotting and spreading the plague.
Lu Gong couldn't help but ask his son Lu Shizhi to entertain Su Mingzhe.
When the nearly twenty enemies were chasing them just now, Lu Gong and his family were all scared to death.
These are all Qin soldiers.
With the same amount of hedging, Qin Zu can be said to be invincible in the world.
As a result, Su Mingzhe rushed forward with an eyebrow-level stick, and in the blink of an eye, he knocked out all the enemies.
The retinues invited by Mr. Lu could only applaud when facing Su Mingzhe who was killing everyone, but they had no chance to take action.
"Brother Su, Lv is not good at speaking. Whatever he said, he was drunk!"
already
Lu Shizhi, who had once regarded Su Mingzhe as his idol, took a jar of wine from the car, filled a bowl of wine, raised his neck, and drank!
"Brother Lu, you're welcome!"
Su Mingzhe drank a bowl with a smile.
The wine in Qin Dynasty is too bland, almost as strong as beer.
A jar of wine is only ten kilograms, so if you share it between two people, you can barely satisfy your hunger.
When Lu Shizhi called his maid to get another jar of wine, Su Mingzhe quickly stopped him:
"Brother Lu, we have to hurry now, so there is no rush to drink. When we get to Pei County, we can have a good drink and talk!"
"Okay then, we've made an agreement!"
Lu Shizhi is not a drunkard, but a thousand cups of wine is too little to drink with a close friend.
He was also impressed by Su Mingzhe's martial arts, so he drank so much wine unknowingly.
Everyone had lunch and continued on their way.
In the following days, two more groups of enemies caught up, with more than 20 people and more than 50 people respectively.
They were all easily eliminated by Su Mingzhe with one blow and one stick.
When Lu Shizhi saw Su Mingzhe's bravery, he couldn't wait to bow down and worship him and become his younger brother.
In the dead of night, people are quiet.
Lu Gong suddenly asked his son and daughter what they thought of Su Mingzhe.
Lu Shizhi sighed towards Lu Gong:
"Father, I have heard of the reputation of 'Su Erlang of Surabaya' before. Others say that he can single-handedly go straight into the dragon's pond and tiger's den and eliminate all kinds of bandits and water bandits. At that time, I thought he was just a country man, nothing wrong with him. Wisdom! Now that I have seen the bravery of the Su brothers, I would have thought that Chi You in ancient times would be nothing more than this evil!"
"This is the famous Wuxushi!"
Mr. Lu stroked his long beard, looked at his three daughters, and said with a gentle smile:
"I asked Su Erlang today. He said that his parents died young and he has lived with his brother since he was a child. He has only started to become successful in the past two years and has not had time to get married. I want to call him my son-in-law. What do you think?"
When the three Lu sisters heard this, they all smiled shyly.
It was Lu Huan who spoke first:
"Children listen to their father's arrangements."
Seeing that the eldest sister spoke first, Lu Fei was not willing to be outdone and said:
"Father, I have no objection either."
When it was the turn of the third girl, Su Su, her face turned red and she said:
"Father, my child is still young, and I still want to spend more time with you!"
"You're not young anymore, you're already sixteen. If your mother hadn't died of illness, the three of you would have been married long ago."
After hearing what his daughter said, Mr. Lu was comforted by Lao Huai, but he still said:
"Now, my father thinks that Su Erlang is a good guy, so he wants you sisters to marry him together so that you can support each other in the future!"
After hearing what Lu Gong said, Lu Hao and Lu Susu just nodded slightly, expressing their willingness to follow their father's arrangements.
Only Lu Pheasant, with a frosty face, said dissatisfiedly:
"Dad, the law says: Citizens have one wife, scholars have one wife and one concubine, officials have three daughters, ministers have six daughters, and princes have nine daughters! What is the identity of Su Erlang? You want us three sisters to marry him together?"
Later generations said that the practice of monogamy in the Qin Dynasty was obviously wrong.
The laws of Qin only stipulated that common people without military merit could only marry one wife.
And if you have military merit and become a public servant, you can marry one wife and one concubine.
When the title reaches the rank of doctor, one can marry one wife and two concubines.
When the title reaches the tenth position, he becomes the "Qing" and can have one wife and five concubines.
And when the 19th title is Guanneihou and the 20th title is Marquis, at this time, one can have one wife and eight concubines.
This kind of marriage system is to reward and stimulate soldiers to work hard to earn military merit.
Lu Gong knew that his second daughter had always been arrogant, so he explained:
"When I asked Su Erlang about his marriage today, he took the initiative to tell me that he is now a public official and according to the law, he can have one wife and two concubines!"
"I also feel that we are quite destined. He is a male official and can marry three women, and you happen to be three sisters!"
exist
In the pre-Qin period, it was common for sisters to marry the same husband, or for aunts and nephews to marry the same husband.
After hearing this, Lu Pheasant still felt unwillingly and said:
"There is a saying in the etiquette: if the family is high, it is a concubine, and if the family is a concubine, it is a concubine; if the family is low, it is a concubine. Even if our Lu family falls into decline, we will not be inferior to the Su family!"
The meaning of Lu Pheasant's words was very simple. Su Mingzhe had a title and could have one wife and two concubines, no problem.
However, according to Zhou rites, the Lu family is a descendant of Jiang Shang, Duke of Qi, and has a higher family status than the Su family.
In this way, even if you marry a daughter and give her a concubine, you only need to give a concubine a daughter, or a maid as a concubine. There is no reason to give the two legitimate daughters to the Su family as concubines.
If the Lu family really marries their three legitimate daughters to Su Mingzhe, then they think that the Lu family is inferior to the Su family and have lowered themselves to the lintel.
After hearing what his daughter Lu Zhi said, Duke Lu began to feel embarrassed.
